Hasta La Creative!

mcgarrybowen launched an extension of Chase’s “So You Can” campaign this week entitled “Masters,” designed to highlight its consumer banking products.

In the 60-second anthem ad (above), featuring Serena Williams, fencing champion Tim Morehouse and The Rockettes, mcgarrybowen contrasts the years these individuals took honing their craft with the seconds it takes to the moments it takes to pay bills at Chase.com, depositing checks at Chase ATMs and transferring funds using the bank’s mobile app. There’s also a 90-second online spot profiling The Rockettes, including what goes into each performance and the years of intense dance training it took the performers to get where they are. Since the dancers only get one day off a week, using Chase’s consumer banking products help them multitask and pay their bills backstage. A 30-second spot, recycling some of the footage from the anthem ad, takes a look at Chase’s role in Morehouse’s routine. We don’t recommend his method of receipt retrieval, however, as it would likely get you thrown out of most bank locations. The ads are supported by social media, sponsorship and in-branch efforts.

The big three may not be placing ads at the Super Bowl but Audi is sure to be there. Aiming to create the same excitement that the players would have on the field, Audi has a great commercial being awaited which stars Transporter star Jason Statham.

Audi’s advertising agency, San Francisco-based Venables Bell & Partners, created the ad, which was shot on-location in Los Angeles. The agency painstakingly recreated different eras in American history with costuming, lighting, film stock and period-specific automobiles to create a stunning depiction of the different eras explored in the ad.

“Every new model we introduce is making more and more consumers stand up and take notice of the single best line-up in the market. Last year’s spot sent the message that Audi was truly redefining luxury. This year’s spot will ensure that everyone realizes that Audi is the best choice, period.”
